What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

Sending out love, thanks and best thoughts to all who have endured me, on this forum .
Heart felt warmth sent to all who need it..
Endured? Endured! Seriously? You’re real easy matey, truly you are. Keep posting here, and, if you are open to do it, research the The British Heart Foundation website. Youre gonna get a wealth of ideas and support. As part of my Cardio Rehab I train alongside their videos. I must add this was post operation and monitored by my Cardio Team. See what you can and allowed to do?
 
Tis what it is, don't beat yourself up over it xx I cut the cream and upped my nuts and have had to rein it in as I started to gain. Only problems is I am once again constipated I just cannot win
 
Glad you are back home and I am sure you will get lower bg again. It wasn't an endurance from us lovely folk on here, its just what we do
 
Forgot to post this morning so here it is
6.5 this morning after a hellish nights sleep. Morning work out done 50 mins, now just vegging on the sofa typing away.........
 
Can confirm have virus. BG at 10am was 10.6 though I don't know how how accurate that is when you've been up half the night to the bathroom.
Very thankful with having the CGM to keep an eye on blood sugar. First sick day while on insulin.
Note to self: Husband needs more training on sick day management and consequences if not managed well. He did get a lot of polyurethaning done though
 
Home from Mexico! Blood sugars not happy right now, not terrible but not great.
this morning was a very normal 6.3, but throughout the day it’s just gotten higher. I am exhausted and the stress of shopping two days before New Year’s Eve…it was crazy out there. I think a need a rest day or two, with excellent food.
love to travel but hate the long travel days.
also had a message from a doctors office….no idea of who this doctor is. Too late to call them and so it has to wait until Tuesday. This worries me…I see a cancer survival doctor, my family doctor, my gastroenterologist….it wasn’t any of those. I hate garbled messages…I listened four times, still couldn’t figure the name out. More stress…
 
@aylalake hope you enjoyed sleeping in your own bed. 7.5 this morning. I deserve the 7. I was bad yesterday, and my number reflects that. This is a weird time of year, difficult to navigate, I'm struggling more than I thought I would. My problems are nothing compared to some of our lovely gang. I wish you all a good day today. Happy Saturday
 
7.6 Yup, still clawing away at the Xmas Plateau.
6.9 - Scrambled into the Stickies. More work to do here.

Off for a follow-up Cardio CT Scan today. Lunch with the "Skin" and then B-in-Law taking me in his "Jam-Jar".

Oh yeah, meant to add above, that the results from my Annual Eye Screening are good, and as this gives me a four-year run of stability, the next NHS appointment will be stretched out to 2 years instead of annually. NHS Budgets? Preparation for Private Health Industry?
